Aubagne

TOTAL SCORE: 41

The French cities of Aubagne and Etoile launched a six-month public transport ticketing pilot in 2007 known as TreiZEN.

Around 150 commuters were given a Nokia NFC phone which they could use for transit ticketing on the Aubagne-Marseilles bus shuttle route as well as the Aubagne travel network. Scheme suppliers included Venyon (NFC OTA service provider), ERG Transit Systems (ticketing) and Crandy (integrated mobile payment system). As well as the two cities, other partners in the trial included the General Council of the Bouches-du-Rhône and Veolia Transport. The service could be used on any cell phone network in France.
